Ghost of the future, I fear you
-
more than any specter I have seen.
-
But I know your purpose is to do me good.
-
I am prepared to bear you company.

Lead on.

The night is waning fast. It's precious time to me.
-
Lead on, spirit.

- When did he die? - Last night, I believe.
-
- Or sometime Christmas Day. - I thought he'd never die.

-
Hasn't left it to me. That's all I know.
-
It is likely to be a cheap funeral.
